Drawbacks of Organic

"We did not find any important differences in nutrient content between organically and conventionally produced foods"

-Nutritionist Alan Dangour

Organic foods are not infallible.  Some negative aspects are :

1. Environmental issues:

• Run-off of atmospheric emissions
• Organic food travels further emitting more Co2
• Longer growing time - more by products

   2.   High Prices:

• 20-100% more expensive
• Expensive for farmers
• Expense may cause nutrition detriments

   3. Health Risks:

• There is no scientific proof to back up claims
• Difference in antioxidant levels - miniscule
• Goes bad faster
• More pests found in produce
